Real Madrid have submitted a fresh contract offer to Vinicius Junior as they step up efforts to secure the Brazilian forward’s long term future at the club.
Vinicius has entered the final year of his current deal with the Spanish giants, prompting renewed negotiations over an extension.
According to Sky Sports, Real Madrid are determined to retain the 26 year old despite growing interest from Arsenal, who are reportedly preparing an official approach.
The report said the Spanish club has presented revised terms to the player’s representatives after months of negotiations in an effort to reach an agreement.
Real Madrid are understood to be aware of Arsenal’s interest and are keen to finalize a new contract before the Premier League club makes a formal move.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are said to be preparing their first official offer, with Vinicius’ representatives already informed of the club’s intention to pursue the transfer.
